Key result
Lidocaine relaxation in rat thoracic aorta was biphasic and significantly enhanced by endothelial removal, an effect reduced by Kv, 5-HD, and A2a subtype inhibition.
Population
Male Sprague Dawley rats (300-350 g, n=72), from which thoracic aortic rings were harvested.
Comparison
Lidocaine applied to norepinephrine-precontracted… vs Intact vs denuded rings, and rings without…
Design
Preclinical

These animal data should not guide lidocaine use in patients; leaves open human endothelial-Kv channel interactions for study.
Lidocaine induces biphasic vasorelaxation in rat thoracic aorta that is enhanced by endothelial removal and mediated by Kv channels, MitoKATP channels, and A2a receptors.
Arsyad et al. (2016) studied Healthy (animal model) (n=72). Lidocaine vs. Intact endothelium and absence of inhibitors was evaluated on Percentage relaxation of norepinephrine pre-contracted aortic rings. Lidocaine relaxation in rat thoracic aorta was biphasic and significantly enhanced by endothelial removal, an effect reduced by Kv, 5-HD, and A2a subtype inhibition.
